  schema:description "For radiotherapy to the left breast or chest wall, you take a deep breath and hold it for about 20 to 30 seconds during each part of the treatment. Filling the lungs moves the heart away from the treated area, so it gets less radiation. You practise first, and the planning scan is done holding your breath. If breath-holding does not suit you, treatment while breathing normally is still safe."@en ;
